A theoretical astrophysicist explores the ideas that transformed our knowledge of the universe over the past century. The cosmos, once understood as a stagnant place, filled with the ordinary, is now a universe that is expanding at an accelerating pace, propelled by dark energy and structured by dark matter. Priyamvada Natarajan, our guide to these ideas, is someone at the forefront of the research—an astrophysicist who literally creates maps of invisible matter in the universe. She not only explains for a wide audience the science behind these essential ideas but also provides an understanding of how radical scientific theories gain acceptance. The formation and growth of black holes, dark matter halos, the accelerating expansion of the universe, the echo of the big bang, the discovery of exoplanets, and the possibility of other universes—these are some of the puzzling cosmological topics of the early twenty-first century. Natarajan discusses why the acceptance of new ideas about the universe and our place in it has never been linear and always contested even within the scientific community. And she affirms that, shifting and incomplete as science always must be, it offers the best path we have toward making sense of our wondrous, mysterious universe. “Part history, part science, all illuminating. If you want to understand the greatest ideas that shaped our current cosmic cartography, read this book.”—Adam G. Riess, Nobel Laureate in Physics, 2011 “A highly readable, insider’s view of recent discoveries in astronomy with unusual attention to the instruments used and the human drama of the scientists.”—Alan Lightman, author of The Accidental Universe and Einstein's Dream

In "Treasure Map to Heaven" Bob Walsh provides a priceless road map, a treasure map, that leads to Heaven based upon God's specific directions as recorded in the Bible. In drawing this treasure map, the Bible, God addresses the possible destinations ... Heaven, Purgatory ... or Hell. God's treasure map describes the breath-taking beauty that awaits us in Paradise, and for some of us, the mercy of Purgatory. But God also warns us of the unspeakable agony in Hell that awaits those who chose the wrong roads in life. Along our journey through physical life, the devil and it evil horde does everything it can to distract us, and to lead us astray from the right path that leads to God in Paradise. The good news is that God's treasure map describes the many pitfalls, wrong turns, and dead ends, and directs us on the path to take, the road that leads to Heaven. This concise collection of God's directions is an indispensable guide for all of us in life. It reminds us, in part, that we are all going to die, and then, as surely as night follows day, we will find ourselves standing before almighty God to be judged according to how we lived our lives on earth. At that time, it will be too late to change our ways, to make amends We will be sent to Heaven to enjoy eternal peace and happiness, or we will be sent to Purgatory to receive needed purification. Or ... we may be sent to Hell where we will be tortured by demons and suffer unspeakable pain and suffering ... forever. As you travel along life's road, be guided by Jesus' words in Matthew 25:46, "These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." So choose your guides carefully, and follow God's treasure map to stay on the path that leads to God in Heaven.

Mapping China and Managing the World by Richard J. Smith Pdf
From the founding of the Qin dynasty in 221 BCE to the present, the Chinese have been preoccupied with the notion of ordering their world. Efforts to create and maintain order are expressed not only in China’s bureaucratic institutions and methods of social and economic organization but also in Chinese philosophy, religious and secular ritual, and comprehensive systems of classifying all natural and supernatural phenomena. Mapping China and Managing the World focuses on Chinese constructions of order (zhi) and examines the most important ways in which elites in late imperial China sought to order their vast and variegated world. This book begins by exploring the role of ancient texts and maps as the two prominent symbolic devices that the Chinese used to construct cultural meaning, and looks at how changing conceptions of ‘the world’ shaped Chinese cartography, whilst both shifting and enduring cartographic practices affected how the Chinese regarded the wider world. Richard J. Smith goes on to examine the significance of ritual in overcoming disorder, and by focusing on the importance of divination shows how Chinese at all levels of society sought to manage the future, as well as the past and the present. Finally, the book concludes by emphasizing the enduring relevance of the Yijing (Classic of Changes) in Chinese intellectual and cultural life as well as its place in the history of Sino-foreign interactions. Bringing together a selection of essays by Richard J. Smith, one of the foremost scholars of Chinese intellectual and cultural history, this book will be welcomed by Chinese and East Asian historians, as well as those interested more broadly in the culture of China and East Asia.
